There are dozens of ways to make pork and onions for dinner. But a handful are my favorites and this one of my TOP 3 Chinese pork chop recipes.
This dish has a thick onion sauce made with red onions, yellow onions, soy sauce and ketchup. With some perfectly marinated and cooked pork loins you'll make this recipe a few times a week.
Now this Hong Kong style pork and onions recipe is inspired by Kerry’s Kitchen. Please check out his KZfaq channel if you haven’t already, there's a link below.

►INGREDIENTS AND RECIPE
300g (10.5oz) Pork Loin
150g Red Onions
125g Yellow Onion
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch (a.k.a cornflour) + 1 Tablespoon Water (slurry)
Pork Marinade:
30g Garlic (reserve a little bit for the sauce)
1 Teaspoon Sugar
1 Tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine
1 Tablespoon Light Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch (a.k.a cornflour)
1.5 Tablespoon Water
1 Tablespoon Oil
Sauce Ingredients:
200g (3/4cup ) Water (can substitute with chicken stock)
50g (1/4) Ketchup
1/2 Tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine
2 Tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
First marinade the pork with all the ingredients except the oil. Mix well and combine until very few liquids on the bottom of mixing bowl. Then add the oil and mix then set aside.
Cut the red onions into thin strips. Cut the yellow onions double the width of red onions.
Heat a pan on medium high heat, add a tablespoon of oil and then red onions. Reduce the heat to a low medium in a few minutes. The goal is to cook down the red onions as the taste will get sweeter. This may take some time. To speed up the process drop a few tablespoons of water in the pan and cover with a lid. In about 2 to 3 minutes the red onions should look wilted and slightly shrunken.
Proceed to add 1/2 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine and reserved garlic. Stir and mix for around 15 to 30 seconds. Keep stirring so the ingredients won’t burn. Then add 200g water, 2 tablespoons light soy sauce and ketchup. Raise to heat to medium. Stir and mix until sauce starts to boil. Then add the slurry while stirring for best results. You will see the sauce get thick and tighten up. Keep mixing for a minute, switch off heat and set aside.
On a clean pan heat on medium high, add a tablespoon of oil and yellow onions. Cook until the onions start to turn soft and brown slightly. Then remove and set aside.
On the same pan add two tablespoons of oil and heat the pan on medium high heat. When pan starts to smoke add pork chops. Cook each side about 3 to 5 minutes. You don’t need to cook it completely, about 80% is enough.
We’ll continue cooking the pork in the sauce. Heat back up the sauce on a low to low medium heat, then add the pork chops and yellow onions. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve with rice or as I do sometimes between some Italian bread, it really makes a terrific sandwich 👍
